    Is it weird/frowned upon to buy a thank-you gift for a FTO and his partner?

    Not sure if it's the same for all companies, but I only had one FTO during the whole course of training, and he really taught me a lot, let me try a lot of things and was very encouraging throughout. Will it be regarded as some kind of bribery if I got him a gift? If it's okay, how can I make...

    City of Los Angeles D.O.T Ambulance Permits Step by Step

    New applicant for DOT permit here. Can someone confirm that I'll get a temporary permit (that's like good for 15 days) on the day itself when I apply for it? Or else, how long does it take? Thank you.

    Nremt 27th

    I thought it was your 27th time taking the NREMT :lol: Think it's random for everyone, isn't it? But I had a lot of neonate/pregnancy questions too and seizure-related questions. I only read the text book + notes I took from class to prepare for it. Good luck!

    CA. ambulance drivers test ?'s

    Eh, this is the way I did it. Went to DMV to obtain live scan form and Medical Examination Report (DL 51) form. The forms are usually located near the entrance of the DMV, you can just walk in and take 'em. Went to do my live scan, went to do my physical(medical) exam, then went to take...

    Do ambulance companies have night shifts?

    Do I REALLY need to demonstrate how my original body already stated everything I need to know? Okay then, here goes. This should tell you that I haven't outright rejected them. Here, I mention that nothing is definite yet. Here's where I show that obviously I kind of knew that it was...

    Do ambulance companies have night shifts?

    It was a title. Do you really expect my thread TITLE to be "Do ambulance companies have night shifts? Because I applied for 2 and both didn't have them. I need shifts that go from 5pm to 7pm. So what ambulance companies do you work for if you are working a night shift? Thanks!" Almost...

    Do ambulance companies have night shifts?

    Very nice. While I don't know what a medical student has to go through, one major difference is, as I mentioned, no other examinations are required for most PA schools in CA. And don't worry about the units part, I have a bazillion units and still need a few more lol. Which is why the problem...

    Do ambulance companies have night shifts?

    Eh, getting a little off topic here, haha. But I would say that from my research, after the initial selection, what sets you apart from the others during interviews will be the type of HCE you have. Heck, I think even for the initial selection, the type of HCE probably play a pretty significant...

    Do ambulance companies have night shifts?

    Most PA schools value HCE... alot. It's a requirement for about 80% of the schools I looked at.

    Do ambulance companies have night shifts?

    Yeah, I should totally interrogate companies that don't offer shifts that start at night with these questions(which is 2 out of 2 companies that I did my interviews with)... Oh wait, they have it covered with 24-hour shifts. Granted that I could've phrased my question better, when you ask a...

    New EMT-B Student

    If you're looking for a job ASAP after you graduate, look into additional requirements that companies have. This way you can start working on them now and be ready in minimal time before you can start working.

    Do ambulance companies have night shifts?

    Good job balancing those :) With the budget cuts, they only have one class at a certain time that I need. My problem is really just that their timing clashes. I do have the option of taking classes that I need for Spring 2013(I'm registered for the winter intersession right now), but let's just...

    Do ambulance companies have night shifts?

    Whoah. Thanks for the helpful replies thus far. Wellllll. They said I could call them back to tell them what my plan would be, like if I decide to drop the class I'm expecting to take. But they were very understanding and nice, saying stuff that's kinda similar to Tigger's POV, and that they...
